Simple Ingredients for Simply Wonderful Oat Flour Blueberry Muffins

  • Oat flour + almond flour – these two flours work so beautifully in these oat flour blueberry muffins to create the best texture—think soft and pillowy with just the right amount of denseness to satisfy.
  • Milk + lemon juice – you can use whatever milk you’d like, but I recommend using unsweetened vanilla almond milk. It’s my go-to milk for baking muffins and everything else.
  • Unsweetened applesauce – to reduce the added sugar to this oat flour blueberry muffins recipe, I went ahead and used apples! The natural sweetness of unsweetened applesauce is so delicious and it adds moisture to balance the sometimes-dryness of oat flour.
  • Coconut sugar – with just ¼ cup of coconut sugar in this oatmeal flour blueberry muffins recipe, you won’t have to fret. Most of the sweetness in this recipe is naturally occurring from fruits.
  • Coconut oil – I like using coconut oil in moderation as it can have some benefits, but you can use melted vegan butter or perhaps another flavorless oil you have on hand.

Cool, then enjoy the very best oat flour blueberry muffins!

Storing & Freezing Your Oatmeal Flour Blueberry Muffins

While I always recommend enjoying your whole ingredient baked goods on the first day, I will say that these oatmeal flour blueberry muffins are still good for about 1 week.

Refrigerator: Store oat flour muffins in an airtight container for up to 1 week in the refrigerator, or in a cool, dark environment.

Freeze: Place oat flour blueberry muffins in airtight container in the freezer for about 1-2 months. Allow oat flour muffins to thaw for approximately 30 minutes at room temperature before enjoying. Or, heat in the microwave in 10-second increments until just warm.

Description

Lightly sweet, superbly soft crumb that’s halfway between bread and a muffin for bountiful oat flour blueberry muffins that’ll brighten your day!

Ingredients

Units Scale

Dry Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 cup non-dairy milk or milk of choice
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup coconut sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Add-in Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with cupcake liners. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, sift together all the dry ingredients: oat flour, almond flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
  3. Add water and milk to a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 10-second increments until just warm. This will prevent the melted coconut oil from solidifying once mixed with these liquids.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together all wet ingredients: water, milk, lemon juice, oil, sugar, applesauce, and vanilla. Whisk until well incorporated.
  5. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients. Whisk until just incorporated, making sure no flour patches remain. Fold in blueberries.
  6. Using a large scoop, scoop and drop batter evenly into the prepared muffin pan—fill all the way to the top for about 10 high-topped muffins; or ¾ of the way for about 12 medium-sized muffins. Using a spoon, smooth batter into an even layer with a dome in the center. Batter will closely bake up to how it looks raw.
  7. Bake for 22-30 minutes. Mine took 26 minutes. Insert a toothpick to check for doneness—once it comes out clean, it’s done.
  8. Place muffin pan on a cooling rack to cool for 30 minutes. Gently remove muffins from muffin pan and transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely, about 1.5 hours. Enjoy! Storing instructions below.

  3. Hi Christina! Aww, thank you! ☺️ You’re too sweet. As for the oil swap, I haven’t tried it myself in this recipe, but I’ve had other readers do a 1:1 swap in other muffins and breads with good results. Some also use avocado oil and olive oil, if those work for you. Hope this helps, and happy baking!

  5. Hi! I love all the recipes of yours that I have tried. I am excited to try these too. If I were to want to sub vegetable oil for the coconut oil, do you think it would be a 1:1 ratio? I don’t want to mess with the overall consistency but I can’t have coconut oil. Thank you!

  7. I would love to try this, but with my food sensitivities, I can’t have almond flour. Can I sub with chickpea flour or more oat flour?

    1. Hi Tracy! I haven’t tried it with chickpea flour, so I can’t say for sure on that one. You could try using the same amount of sunflower seed meal, or using 1/4 cup 2 tablespoons oat flour instead of the almond flour. Hope this helps!

    1. Hi Jana! I haven’t used them here, but I’ve had other readers do so in some of my other muffins with good results. Just know that it can cause some blueberry color to leak into the batter. You’ll also likely need to bake them a few minutes longer as well. If you decide to try it, let me know how they turn out!
